I was made fun of really bad growing up, to the point of coming home from school and crying everyday and often thinking of suicide. I was a short pudgy kid who was often made fun of by girls. I'm now in my late 20's and the complete opposite physically, I work out all the time and stand 6ft 2 at 215 with less than 6% Body Fat, however though I find that I'm extremely scared to talk to women, could this be because of my childhood. It makes me mad because so many people think I'm arrogant or cocky which is not the case by far. There is this attractive girl in the gym that I would love to talk to but every time I get the courage I still see that short fat kid growing up. Can anyone help me.
